The Paleobiological Revolution chronicles the incredible ascendance
of the once-maligned science of paleontology to the vanguard of a
field. With the establishment of the modern synthesis in the 1940s
and the pioneering work of George Gaylord Simpson, Ernst Mayr, and
Theodosius Dobzhansky, as well as the subsequent efforts of Stephen
Jay Gould, David Raup, and James Valentine, paleontology became
embedded in biology and emerged as paleobiology, a first-rate
discipline central to evolutionary studies. Pairing contributions
from some of the leading actors of the transformation with
overviews from historians and philosophers of science, the essays
here capture the excitement of the seismic changes in the
discipline. In so doing, David Sepkoski and Michael Ruse harness
the energy of the past to call for further study of the conceptual
development of modern paleobiology.
